E53 X5 3.0i manual rear diff; 4.4i auto rear diff; 4.6is auto rear diff
It seems to me the diff type is 188k, the same for manual and auto transmitting
You're definitely blowing it out of the water with this upgrade. Just the LSD and bearing set is over $2500CAD, more than the price of most E53s these days.
I spend more money on my X5 than on my gf but still can't justify the price tag lol!
It looks like there's a cheaper alternative, I'll give it a shot.

Nice, we can compare notes.
The bearings did hurt a bit. The Quaife though I justified to myself by recalling almost getting stuck in Iowa mud and ice in 20deg temps last year hunting birds.
My wife gives me lots of rope on my projects, and I x5 is likely cheaper than a full 68 Camaro, or Alfa, etc. build. I drive the wheels off of the X5 now too that it’s back to daily driver status, aside from when it’s broken down of course, and that keeps me from buying something silly like another M3 or a 911.
My seats, if they ever get finished by the upholstery shop will be amazing. Won’t be cheap I suspect, but well worth it on the long trips.
